Christian Siriano on Project Runway Season 19 and His Partnership With Pinterest TV

PS: In 2008, you became the youngest designer to win the competition! How do you think your experience was similar or different from that of current designers?

CS: It was a very different world in 2008. Instagram didn't even exist and Twitter had just launched. So really you couldn't connect with people like you can today. These designers are so lucky they can chat with fans and customers right away and build their brand. Even if they don't win, it's still such a great platform for young designers.
